Woodworking 101, by Aime Fraser, Matthew Teague, and Joe Hurst-Wajszczuk
The Taunton Press, 2012.
$24.95; 304 pp.
Woodworking 101 combines the 4 books from Taunton’s Getting Started in Woodworking series and is a great book for beginners. The book has step-by-step photos and illustrations for 7 projects: tool storage cabinet/workbench, an outdoor chair, coffee table, bookcase, storage bench, table, and bed. Also included is lots of info about setting up a shop and a section on different materials in woodworking, such as lumber, sand paper, and finishes. “With the basics mastered here, there’s no end to what new woodworkers can accomplish for years to come.”

I would love to win this book and then build a bookshelf to put it on...
When people find out I have a tablesaw, they always ask what do I make? My usual answer is,"I make great sawdust." With
'Woodworking 101', I will be able to tell them about my latest project.
If anyone saw my work you would know I could use this book.................
My epic failures in wood working require that I win this draw! The safety of the world (or at least, my corner of it) epends upon it! ;-)
That definitely would look good on my bookshelf and be a great read to boot. Thanks for the opportunity.
Cheers

Matthew Teague's article on his compact garage shop has been my inspiration for the work-in-progress 3rd bay garage shop. I'd really enjoy adding this book to my bookshelf.

Anything about lathes in this book?
Another great addition to my woodworking library!

My work speaks for itself. Help!
Taunton Press continues to show a lot of class. I don't NEED this book but would like to use it as a tool to introduce a friend who has shown interest in woodworking but lacks the confidence to proceed. This would be a great starter book for him. Thank you!
I can never have enough quality references and I'm sure that this one from Taunton will be as good as the complete illustrated guides that I have from them.
WOW! This new book Woodworking 101 looks like a must have book for any new woodworker or woodworker who wants improve their wood skills or techniques. I'm sure there will be shop set-up ideas and better techniques all woodworkers will use. I look forward to seeing this new book.
